New install of KDE... fonts are wrong and can't read them.


Hi,
I just installed CentOS 5 and KDE and when I run KDE, everything that should be text is just a black hollow square
(like those Unicode Korean fonts on Windows when you don't have the font installed).

I can't read the desktop or KDE start menu... You can't even look the KDE Terminal.

Any suggestions?
